Ashe is a ranged AD (Attack Hurt) carry in the game, League of Legends. Her strengths are her vital auto attacks, which deal a tremendous amount of hurt. Ashe is best played by either taking the mid solo lane, or paired with a support champion such as Soraka or Sona in a side lane. If this is the case, then the support should let Ashe last hit all the minions in order to get her farmed up.
If you have only just started before a live audience League of Legends, then I would highly recommend Ashe as one of the first champions to play, as she is quite easy to get a grip on.
Ashe’s passive ability is called Focus. While she is not attacking, Ashe’s vital strike chance increases by 3% every three seconds. The higher her vital strike chance is, the more chance she has to hit for double hurt. Once she attacks, the percentage resets.
Tip: When the game first starts, save your first hit for an enemy champion. You will see that your vital strike chance will reach 100%, guaranteeing a hit that will hurt for double the amount of a normal vital attack.
Ashe’s first ability is Frost Shot, which can be activated by toggling it off and on. When Frost Shot is on, each of Ashe’s auto attacks will now slow the enemy target for 2 seconds. This is extremely caring when you are chasing (or kiting) down the enemy. Try to only use Frost Shot when you are attacking the enemy champions, and remember to turn it off if only attacking minions or monsters as it can drain your mana quite quickly.
Volley is Ashe’s next ability, which is the one I would prioritise levelling up. Ashe fires 7 arrows in the shape of a cone production physical hurt to those who have been hit. Volley also slows the enemies who have been hit with the same amount/percentage as Frost Shot.
Volley can also be effective for clearing out minion waves, but the cost of mana is quite high so be sure to keep an eye on the mana bar (unless you have Soraka with you, who is a health and mana battery!).
Ashe’s third ability is called Hawkshot. Hawkshot has both a passive and an active ability, which are both really useful.
The passive is that Ashe gains bonus gold every time she kills a minion, monster, champion or construction. This can add up to quite a honest bit of gold, which is vital to buying gear in order to, do more hurt.
The active of Hawkshot is a fantastic scouting tool. Ashe sends out a Hawk that reveals an area of the map to the entire ally team. The range of Hawkshot increases as you level it up, as does the amount of gold you gain through the passive. Remember that this does not show stealthed champions or objects.
Enchanted Crystal Arrow is Ashe’s ultimate ability, which is a skill shot stun.
Ashe fires a giant missile made of ice in a straight line that is able to hit an enemy universally (this means the range of the arrow is limitless).
When the arrow collides with an enemy champion, they will take magic hurt and also be stunned for a maximum of 3.5 seconds.
